The Flat Hat, a student newspaper at The College of William & Mary, has taken notice of FIRE’s massive campaign to raise awareness of unconstitutional speech codes in effect in America’s colleges today. As Adam pointed out in The Torch earlier this week, Flat Hat reporter Kelly McEvoy put President Taylor Reveley in the uncomfortable position of having to defend the policies at William & Mary that have earned the college its "red light" rating from FIRE. Fortunately, Reveley told The Flat Hat that the college is reviewing its policies to make sure they are compliant with the First Amendment. Hopefully we can take the former dean of William & Mary’s law school at his word.

And as Luke previously reported, Texas A&M University (TAMU) held a free speech workshop this week, featuring the distribution of 500 of FIRE’s Guide to Free Speech on Campus. Though no FIRE representative was present, TAMU’s student paper, The Battalion, paints a very promising picture of the well-attended workshop. Hopefully others will follow at TAMU’s peer institutions. Those who have seen FIRE’s current Spotlight on Speech Codes report know they can sure use the help.
